Cromer returns to Grover's Corners in flinty New England

David Cromer's increasingly famous production of "Our Town," which began at The Hypocrites in Chicago, then moved Off-Broadway for a record-breaking run, and was a recent hit in Los Angeles in a version starring Helen Hunt, is now headed to the Huntington Theatre in Boston.

And Cromer, the non-profit theater said Thursday, will not only direct but retun the role he played in Chicago and New York. "Our Town" will open in Boston in December.
